There are over 100 Myanmar nationals who, despite having completed their sentences and paid all their fines for illegally staying in Manipur State, are still being held at Imphal Prison. Their families are allowed to contact them once a week.

Family members of those imprisoned say they are facing difficulties in raising 50,000 rupees because they have been fleeing conflict and lack stable employment.

The Shan State Progressive Party (SSPP) has officially declared war on the Military Council, asserting that seeking political resolutions through conventional means is now futile.

GUWAHATI, India - India on Thursday deported the first group of Myanmar refugees who had sought shelter there after the 2021 military coup, a state minister said.

A unit of the Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA) has reportedly tried to seize a position from the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) in Kutkai, northern Shan State, leading to an ongoing turf dispute with its ally.

Around 100 police officers have resigned and fled from Maungdaw district police base and Myoma police station in Rakhine State. All of them are now charged with treason under section 505 at Maungdaw Myoma police station, said a source in the police community.

"Many police officers have already fled and more are joining them. Lately around 100 police officers have resigned," added the source.

Since the return of gun fighting between the junta soldiers and Arakan Army (AA) fighters on 13 November 2023, the number of resignations and fleeing incidents only increased in Maungdaw district police and Myoma police station.
